Deep dives

Intel's Confusing Branding Strategy

Intel's branding strategy has become even more confusing with the upcoming Meteor Lake refresh generation. The company is planning to use names like Core Ultra 5, Core Ultra 9, and Core Ultra 7 for its processors, which is a departure from the previous i3, i5, and i7 naming. Additionally, Intel's decision to label these processors as 'first gen' Core Ultra raises questions about the overall naming scheme. The changes in branding may ultimately cause confusion for consumers and complicate the selection process when purchasing Intel processors.
